Daily closes. Earnings/event dots are placed inline.
Industries move in repeating boom-and-bust cycles. This shows where this stock’s industry sits in that cycle, stage by stage (recovery → expansion → supercycle → steady → deceleration → contraction), from its fundamentals (orders, revenue, capital spending), not the stock’s price.
A booming industry is a tailwind for the names in it; a contracting one is a headwind. Companies in the same industry tend to rise and fall together with the cycle, the way a tide lifts and lowers every boat in the harbor at once, so a large part of a stock’s swing can come from where its industry sits rather than from the company itself. It’s context for reading the company’s results, not a buy/sell call. Full explanation →
Consumer Discretionary is in steady. Describes the industry's cycle state, not a call on this stock.
The stage band shows the industry’s cycle over the chart’s timeline (each color a stage); a ▼ marks a quarter its growth inflected down — amber is an unconfirmed watch, red is confirmed the next quarter. Use “Overlay cycle on chart” to tint the price chart by stage. The industry’s fundamentals, not a signal on this stock.
Primary pillar under pressure — Achieve EPS of about $0.58 per share: Diluted EPS: $0.25 per share.
View ThesisRevenue is contracting — down about 2% over the past year.
View GrowthRanks in the weakest quality tier of its industry — roughly the bottom 35%, softest on share dilution.
View QualityMiddle-of-the-pack management execution.
View ManagementExpectations look reasonable — what the market is pricing in sits in line with or below what analysts forecast.
View ValuationThis stock is volatile — it swings about 2% on a typical day and fell roughly 37% in its worst 12-month stretch.
View RiskNWL's turnaround depends on returning to sales growth and profitable growth. Revenue improved from a 1.1% year-over-year decline to 3.0% growth, with Q2 EPS beating consensus. NWL trades at 7× P/E versus a 15× peer median. The price reflects less growth than our forecast, despite the peer valuation gap. The thesis is vulnerable because diluted EPS of $0.25 remains below the $0.58 pillar. Our model puts the next-quarter miss probability near 20%. Peer multiples imply a price about 34% above where it trades; the thesis is on watch, and this read is provisional.
Trailing returns as of 2026-10-29. NWL is total return (includes dividends); the S&P 500 benchmark is price return (the index excludes dividends).

A consensus fair price across 12 valuation methods, at three horizons. As of 2026-10-30. Estimates are diagnostics, not price targets. Short-horizon estimates are close to coin-flips, so confidence is a method-agreement read, not a prediction.
Today's peer multiple on trailing earnings, with no growth credited. This is the headline read.
Adds projected growth, so it leans optimistic by design. Read it as upside context, not a base case.
A price-focused, side-by-side fair-value read versus Consumer Discretionary (broad) — fair value, gap to price, and forward P/E.
Our valuation methods disagree too much on this name right now. Rather than print a number we don't believe, we're holding it back until they converge.
